Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 202 Princess Wan'an 12

"Mom, aren't you sick?"

Lord Lin was a little confused. His mother didn't look as weak as if she had contracted an epidemic.

"Sir, Her Royal Highness the Princess brought some medicine over. The old lady got better after drinking it."

Princess, have you found the antidote to this disease? Governor Lin's eyes widened.

In the Qingjiang City Clinic, a female doctor in plain clothes had a relieved smile on her face. Finally, she had developed an antidote to the epidemic, and it was effective, which did not disappoint the princess.

Lian Yi bowed to Shen Lingruo and said, "Thank you Princess for saving my life and for providing me with the ancient book. Otherwise, Lian Yi would not have been able to develop the antidote so quickly."

Shen Lingruo shook her head at her and helped her up. "Nothing."

Lianyi vaguely remembered that day, the wind and snow were very strong, and the whole Qingjiang City was covered with a layer of white frost. Her face was frozen, and she forced herself to pick up a large spoon and scoop the cooked medicine in the pot.

The pot was overturned, and the steaming liquid inside spilled all over the ground. The angry people asked: "We drank this medicine, why is there no effect at all?"

Lianyi forced her eyelids open and looked at the liquid on the ground with distress. She had been worried about the epidemic all night, reading medical books and boiling medicine, and had not rested much. "These are for fever reduction...ah..."

She was pushed to the ground by the angry people. "You didn't try your best to heal us. Do you want to watch us die?"

The man's eyes turned red with anxiety, and his words were like a huge stone, weighing heavily on the sick people. They were very ill, and the stretchers outside carrying out the dead every day irritated their nerves.

This was not a medical tent set up by the government, but by the Lianyi Family Clinic. They provided them with free warm clothes and boiled medicine for them, and it also attracted a lot of patients.

The emotions of those people were provoked, "Why should you be fine while we are sick and about to die?"

They also forgot that if it weren't for Lianyi, they would have died in the cold winter snow a few days ago.

"Kill her! Kill her!" Angry voices came from the crowd. The patients' emotions were provoked and they surrounded Lian Yi.

Lianyi looked at the group of people in horror. There were so many people on the other side, and she couldn't hide at all alone.

At this moment, the man in the lead took the spoon that Lianyi had just used to scoop medicine and threw it at her.

A small arrow brushed against the air and flew up against the wind, cutting through the surrounding air and piercing the hand of the man holding the iron spoon.

"Ah——" the man screamed, the iron spoon fell to the ground, blood flowed down his hand. He covered his pierced hand and wailed.

The group of troublemakers dispersed like birds and beasts.

"Shut up." What a bunch of ungrateful people, yet they still talk so much.

Shen Lingruo appeared in front of Lianyi like a god.

After the thought ended, Lianyi came back to her senses, "Your Highness, the solution to the epidemic has been found, but this snowstorm..."

The thatched houses of the people in Qingjiang City were crushed, and most of them are now displaced. They gather in makeshift sheds and huddle together for warmth.

Just as Shen Lingruo was about to speak, news suddenly came from outside.

"Your Highness, a merchant donated a large amount of supplies."

"Merchant? What's his name?" Shen Lingruo asked. There didn't seem to be any such thing in the plot, and there had never been any merchant who came to donate a large amount of supplies.

Most of the people in Qingjiang City rely on farming and are self-sufficient, and few merchants come here to do business.

"He is the richest businessman in Daxing, Yu Rong."

Yu Rong was the richest businessman in Daxing State. The emperor once wanted to recruit him as an imperial merchant, but was rejected. The emperor also thought about using his power to force people and frame him with some dirty means.

After all, Yu Rong had so much money, it would be great if he could use it to fill the national treasury.

But the emperor did not do so, because Yu Rong was involved in too many industries. If he forced it, Daxing's economy would be in turmoil.

So the emperor was extremely angry and also coveted Yu Rong's money, but there was nothing he could do.

Shen Lingruo walked out and met the rumored wealthy businessman Yu Rong.

The man was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, his features were reserved, and he looked humble and gentle. He did not look like a businessman, but more like a proud nobleman.

Shen Lingruo looked at his appearance and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

It's not him.

But suddenly, she quickly suppressed her emotion, just because of those iconic obsidian eyes.

Shen Lingruo was stunned for a moment, staring at those eyes.

She was stunned for only three seconds, and she quickly regained her usual calm and composure.

"Your Highness." Yu Rong's voice was clear and bright, like the gurgling of a mountain stream. "I heard that Qingjiang City was hit by an epidemic and snowstorm, so I came to support you."

"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Yu." Shen Lingruo's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

It has to be said that the supplies given by Yu Rong really solved the urgent problem. Shen Lingruo's previous supplies have also arrived. The two batches of supplies added up are enough for the people of Qingjiang City to survive the snowstorm and have a good winter.

Governor Lin also heard about this, and he has been following the princess's lead these days.

Although he is the governor, he is indeed not as good as the princess in dealing with emergencies and resolving the difficulties in Qingjiang City.

Lord Lin had also heard a bit about Yu Rong. He was not a good man in the traditional sense. He had a huge business, but he had never been to Qingjiang City.

Well, it was a good thing after all.

These days, Yu Rong often followed the princess to distribute disaster relief supplies and also helped distribute life-saving medicines to patients.

He even spent a large amount of money to purchase the medicinal materials for these anti-disease drugs and shipped them to Qingjiang City in batches.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Yu is so caring." Shen Lingruo had a faint smile on her lips.

"As a citizen of Daxing, it is my duty to do this." A slight blush appeared on his handsome face, like a young boy who had just begun to fall in love.

Shen Lingruo put her hand on his shoulder. Yu Rong was wearing a black robe today, which made him look more elegant.

"There's snow on your shoulders." She gently brushed it off for him, and her cool fingertips touched his warm neck.

Yu Rong's Adam's apple moved.

It seemed that it was just because of the snow. After Shen Lingruo swept it away for him, she did not take any further action.

She resumed her aloof, arrogant appearance as a noble princess. The contact just now seemed like an illusion of Yu Rong alone.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the cold enveloped the city. Shen Lingruo returned to her mansion and to her warm boudoir.

It was a dark night with snowflakes flying everywhere. The shadow of Ren Jiu outside the door was not very clear in the dim light of the night.

Shen Lingruo was standing in front of the window, looking at the heavy snow outside, while Ren Jiu was guarding outside the house with a sword in his arms.

"Ren Jiu, what do you think of Yu Rong?"

"Your Highness, I think he is a man of deep thoughts and has ulterior motives towards the princess."

A snowflake floated into the house through the open window. Ren Jiu looked at Shen Lingruo. The snowflake just covered her eyes, and he could only hear her speak softly.

"I know."
